mmap - mlock problems

Hi,

I found this old thread /lkml/2001/10/30/256 which uncovered
some mmap problems with 2.4.x kernels.

I ran the test program on a 2.6.21 x86_64 with 2GB and the test program
doesn't make the system unusable but it fails when it runs out of
free memory and has to start recycling.

This is almost the same to the original problem and I wonder whether
there is a missing patch somewhere or any reason why
this was not fixed in newer versions.

thanks
